I had written on here many times about the benefits of green tea and how it can assist not only in everyday life, but also in our running and other sports.
Being an excellent substitute for our daily coffee for many people, green tea has been well documented to not only provide good levels of antioxidants and for lack of better words - cleansing agents to the body, but it also seems to place me in a state of serene calm and stops the brain from sometimes moving into overdrive.
The main reason though why I like it is because it is renowned to help to burn more calories and fat when drunk after a large meal.
The main surprise that I did learn though was that it can also increase VO2 in athletes and in particular runners. Again not something that I fully understand the science of, but definitely something that I am happy to pursue if it does indeed assist.
I encourage you to also do research of your own and lets share the results.
